Access and cross lesions in the peripheral vessels with the TrailBlazer™ support catheter and the TrailBlazer™ angled support catheter. Use the support catheter to access and track through a vessel, enable guidewire exchanges and to deliver saline or contrast during endovascular procedures. Use the angled version of this support catheter to direct to desired location; the braided shaft provides extra support when needed.
TrailBlazer™ Support Catheter are percutaneous, single lumen catheters designed for use in the peripheral vascular system. TrailBlazer™ Support Catheters are intended to guide and support a guide wire during access of the vasculature, allow for wire exchanges and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline solutions or diagnostic contrast agents.
TrailBlazer™ Angled Support Catheters are percutaneous, single lumen catheters designed for use in the peripheral vascular system. TrailBlazer™ Support Catheters are intended to guide and support a guide wire during access of the vasculature, allow for wire exchanges and provide a conduit for the delivery of saline solutions or diagnostic contrast agents.
